He's justified, Anker has a terrible record for privacy. They put out "private" "local storage only" cameras a while back that were uploading all photos and videos to offshore servers and applying facial recognition. I would be very hesitant to give these goons a camera covered robot in my home. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMe2K-bHSdI for details.

Many consumer IoT devices process personal data. It is expected that manufacturers provide features within consumer IoT devices that support the protection of such personal data. In addition, there exist laws and regulations that relate to the protection of personal data in consumer IoT devices (for example the GDPR [i.7]). The present document intends to help manufacturers of consumer IoT devices provide a number of features for the protection of personal data from a
strictly technical perspective.
Provision 6-1 The manufacturer shall provide consumers with clear and transparent information about what personal data is processed, how it is being used, by whom, and for what purposes, for each device and service. This also applies
to third parties that can be involved, including advertisers.
Provision 6-2 Where personal data is processed on the basis of consumers' consent, this consent shall be obtained in a valid way. Obtaining consent "in a valid way" normally involves giving consumers a free, obvious and explicit opt-in choice of whether their personal data can be used for a specified purpose.
Provision 6-3 Consumers who gave consent for the processing of their personal data shall have the capability to withdraw it at any time. Consumers expect to be able to preserve their privacy by configuring IoT device and service functionality appropriately.
Provision 6-4 If telemetry data is collected from consumer IoT devices and services, the processing of personal data should be kept to the minimum necessary for the intended functionality.
Provision 6-5 If telemetry data is collected from consumer IoT devices and services, consumers shall be provided with information on what telemetry data is collected, how it is being used, by whom, and for what purposes.

Is that what the Anker controversy was about? I remember seeing a throw away line on someone not liking Anker because of some shady stuff they did in the past. This is worse than what I had assumed it could be.

That doesn't make the person's comments justified in any way though because they aren't really related at all. Yes, scummy company probably will continue to do scummy stuff but every company is scummy. There is no connection between them being shady with your data and buying reviews. If they have, then I rescind the comment but it doesn't help the original person's case that they aren't elaborating but are just throwing baseless accusations. Being worried about your privacy due to eufy=Anker is fine criticism for potential buyers by itself.

Comes with only a year of warranty. Even they can't stand behind their own product by actually offering a longer warranty.
